“Our first quarter loan growth has set the pace for this year,” said Chairman and CEO Marc A. Stefanski. “We expect to continue to aggressively pursue purchase volume in 2022 with new programs to attract homebuyers, while maintaining our dividend to enhance shareholder value.”

Highlights - First Quarter Fiscal Year 2022

  • Reported net income of $16.1 million
  • Continued improvement of net interest margin to 1.69%
  • Generated $165 million of loan growth during the first fiscal quarter of 2022
  • Maintained strong asset quality and recorded a $2 million negative provision for credit losses
  • Paid a $0.2825 dividend

The Company reported net income of $16.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, compared to net income of $17.0 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The change included an increase to net interest income, a decrease in non-interest income and an increase in non-interest expense.

Net interest income increased $0.4 million, or 1%, to $57.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 from $57.4 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to a seven basis point improvement in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 was 1.57% compared to 1.55% for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The net interest margin was 1.69% compared to 1.68% for the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

The provision for loan losses was a credit of $2.0 million for each of the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021. The Company recorded $2.0 million of net loan recoveries for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1.5 million of net loan recoveries for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. Gross loan charge-offs were $0.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, while loan recoveries were $2.2 million for the current quarter and $2.9 million in the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses was $89.2 million, or 0.70% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2021, including a $25.6 million liability for unfunded commitments. The allowance for credit losses was $89.3 million, or 0.71% of total loans receivable, including a $25.0 million liability for unfunded commitments, at September 30, 2021.

Total loan delinquencies were $25.0 million, representing 0.20% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2021 and $24.7 million, or 0.20% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2021. Non-accrual loans decreased $0.6 million to $43.4 million, or 0.34% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2021 compared with $44.0 million, or 0.35% of total loans receivable, at September 30, 2021.

At December 31, 2021, there were $12.0 million of loans, or 0.09% of total loans receivable, in COVID-19 forbearance plans compared to $21.8 million of loans, or 0.17% of total loans receivable, in COVID-19 forbearance plans at September 30, 2021. There were $121.1 million and $127.1 million of loans in troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Total non-interest income decreased by $0.5 million, to $8.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, from $8.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The decrease included a $2.1 million decrease in net gain on the sale of loans, due to decreases in secondary market pricing and a lower volume of loans sold. Offsetting increases included a $0.8 million increase in returns and death benefits from bank owned life insurance policies and a $0.8 million combined increase in loan fees and service charges, the fair value of interest rate lock commitments and other miscellaneous operating income. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, $102.0 million of loans were sold or committed for sale at a $2.2 million net gain compared to $128.3 million of loans sold at a $4.3 million net gain during the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Total non-interest expense increased $0.3 million, to $47.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, from $47.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The increase was mainly the result of a $1.6 million increase in marketing costs, offset by a $0.7 million decrease in the provision for repurchase reserves on sold loans and a $0.6 million decrease in third party appraisal and other loan-related expenses. Marketing costs are recognized as incurred.

Total assets increased by $75.1 million, or 1%, to $14.13 billion at December 31, 2021 from $14.06 billion at September 30, 2021. This change was mainly the result of new loan origination levels exceeding the total of loan sales and principal repayments, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $80.3 million, or 16% to $408.0 million at December 31, 2021 from $488.3 million at September 30, 2021.

The combination of loans held for investment, net of deferred loan fees and allowance for credit losses, and mortgage loans held for sale increased $165.2 million, or 1%, to $12.68 billion at December 31, 2021 from $12.52 billion at September 30, 2021. Residential core mortgage loans, including those held for sale, increased $101.4 million and the home equity loans and lines of credit portfolio increased $63.5 million during the quarter. Total first mortgage loan originations were $877.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to $719.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021. The current period mortgage loan originations included 60% refinance transactions, 24% adjustable rate mortgages and 14% fixed-rate mortgages with terms of 10 years or less. Commitments originated for home equity loans and lines of credit were $499.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to $511.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Deposits decreased by $60.3 million, or 1%, to $8.93 billion at December 31, 2021 from $8.99 billion at September 30, 2021. The decrease in deposits was the result of a $137.9 million decrease in certificates of deposit ("CDs"), offset by a $48.8 million increase in checking accounts, a $3.4 million decrease in money market accounts and a $32.5 million increase in savings accounts during the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Total deposits include $496.9 million and $492.0 million of brokered CDs at December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Borrowed funds, all from the FHLB, increased $88.8 million, or 3%, to $3.18 billion at December 31, 2021 from $3.09 billion at September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily used to fund loan growth. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, additions included $40.0 million of overnight advances and $150.0 million of long term advances, with terms from 21 to 48 months, partially offset by other principal repayments. Also, during the quarter, $100.0 million of 90 day advances and their related swap contracts matured and were paid off. The total balance of borrowed funds at December 31, 2021 consisted of $40.0 million of overnight advances, $790.6 million of term advances with a weighted average maturity of approximately 2.7 years and term advances of $2.4 billion, aligned with interest rate swap contracts, with a remaining weighted average effective maturity of approximately 2.4 years.

Borrowers' advances for insurance and taxes increased by $33.7 million, or 31%, to $143.3 million at December 31, 2021 from $109.6 million at September 30, 2021. This change primarily reflects the cyclical nature of real estate tax payments that have been collected from borrowers and are in the process of being remitted to various taxing agencies.

Total shareholders' equity increased $21.1 million, or 1%, to $1.75 billion at December 31, 2021 from $1.73 billion at September 30, 2021. Activity reflects $16.1 million of net income in the current quarter reduced by a quarterly dividend of $14.5 million and $0.3 million of repurchases of outstanding common stock. Other changes include $17.7 million of unrealized net gain recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, primarily related to changes in market values and maturities of swap contracts, and a $2.1 million net positive impact related to activity in the Company's stock compensation and employee stock ownership plans. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, 16,000 shares of the Company's outstanding stock were repurchased at an average cost of $17.80 per share. The Company's eighth stock repurchase program allows for a total of 10,000,000 shares to be repurchased, with 5,875,079 shares remaining to be repurchased at December 31, 2021.

The Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.2825 per share during the quarter ended December 31, 2021. As a result of a mutual member vote, Third Federal Savings and Loan Association of Cleveland, MHC (the "MHC"), the mutual holding company that owns approximately 81% of the outstanding stock of the Company, was able to waive its receipt of its share of the dividend paid. Under current Federal Reserve regulations, the MHC is required to obtain the approval of its members every 12 months for the MHC to waive its right to receive dividends. As a result of a July 13, 2021 member vote and the subsequent non-objection of the Federal Reserve, the MHC has the approval to waive the receipt of up to a total of $1.13 per share of possible dividends to be declared on the Company's common stock, including up to $0.565 in dividends during the six months ending June 30, 2022. The MHC has conducted the member vote to approve the dividend waiver each of the past eight years under Federal Reserve regulations and for each of those eight years, approximately 97% of the votes cast were in favor of the waiver.

The Association operates under the capital requirements for the standardized approach of the Basel III capital framework for U.S. banking organizations (“Basel III Rules”). At December 31, 2021 all of the Association's capital ratios substantially exceed the amounts required for the Association to be considered "well capitalized" for regulatory capital purposes. The Association’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.93%, its Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios, as calculated under the fully phased-in Basel III Rules, were each 19.73% and its total capital ratio was 20.29%. Additionally, the Company's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 12.72%, its Common Equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 ratios were each 22.97% and its total capital ratio was 23.53%. The Association's current capital ratios reflect the dilutive impact of $56 million of dividends that the Association paid to the Company, its sole shareholder, during the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Because of its intercompany nature, these dividends had no impact on the Company's capital ratios or its consolidated statement of condition.

Ben S. Stefanski III, a director of the Company, has announced his resignation from the Board of Directors effective January 27, 2022. The organization is grateful to Mr. Stefanski for his years of service and contributions to the Company as both a board member and as an executive officer. His position on the Board is not expected to be filled.

Presentation slides as of December 31, 2021 will be available on the Company's website, www.thirdfederal.com, under the Investor Relations link within the "Recent Presentations" menu, beginning January 28, 2022. The Company will not be hosting a conference call to discuss its operating results.
